Learn English – the English word that means “making something more broadly known and understood”

single-word-requests

A company issues a new regulation and wants to make the new regulation more broadly known and understood by all of its employees.

What do we say the company does? (The company … its new regulation.)

Is the word "socialize" appropriate to fill the blank above?
I am looking for a word that has the property of "efforts" to ensure the regulation is known by all and understood thoroughly instead of merely making it public, so words like "announce" and "publicize" are not sufficient.

disseminate as defined by Oxford Dictionaries

spread or disperse (something, especially information) widely. "health authorities should foster good practice by disseminating information"

In your example: "The CEO ordered the Human Resources Office to disseminate the new policy on workplace harassment by holding a meeting, with ample time for Q&A, in every division by the end of the quarter."
